Hiking Trails of the Smokies is a comprehensive guide to the official trails of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, covering 149 trails with detailed narratives. Includes a full color, all-park trip planning map plus 165 trail profile charts. Handy, pocket sized book, printed on special lightweight, recycled paper.

I started using an earlier version of this book in college, over 10 years ago, and I consider it to be an absolute essential for the Smokies backpacker. It's easy to understand, and the elevation charts at the beginning of each trail section help you decide whether it's the trail for you or not. A must-have!

This little book is pulled out every time I plan a hike in the Smokies. Trail elevation profiles, info on hazards, as well as info on natural and historical facts make this book a must have for any serious Smokies hiker or backpacker.
